Formula 1 is heading back across the pond to the United States for Round 6 of the World Championship and the Hard Rock Stadium for the sport’s third trip to the streets of Miami, this time as a Sprint weekend. But alongside that, it's been a huge week of news off the track.
Filip Cleeren and Jake Boxall-Legge join Bryn Lucas on the Autosport Podcast to discuss the the news that Red Bull Chief Designer Adrian Newey is set to quit the team after a deteroiation in his relationship with team principal Christian Horner. Could Newey be heading to rivals Aston Martin or Ferrari, or could he retire altogether?
It was also announced that Nico Hulkenberg will be leaving Haas at the end of the season to return to Sauber for 2025, a year before Audi fully takes over the Swiss team. How big a blow will it be for Haas, and what does it mean for current Sauber drivers Zhou Guanyu and Valtteri Bottas? And just how "blue" will Ferrari be over the Miami weekend?
The team also discuss the tyre strategy expected on Miami's streets, why half the grid are brining upgrade packages for the weekend, and ponder whether the changes to the Sprint format will mean more extreme setups from teams across the weekend.
